Hi guys, i just bought my LG G2 from my brother in law who order it from singapore, it claims to be an original phone but i have my doubts, it does look like the real deal, and feels like real deal, but the low resolution manual and protective stickers freaks me out. Also the battery runs out kinda fast.
Can someone please help compare the specs of the hardware (with antutu or something like that) letter to letter so it matches?

Can it update to android lollipop?(depends on country/ type) that will be a 'clue' ( is it called clue?)
And what if u plug it into ur pc with lg pc suite
P.s. maybe the lollipop update is only by the lg pc suite
Open the backcover and look at the motherboard. Probably not a new d802 but a refurb d800..

OOHHH reallyy?? have you the jack audio piece for me? I really need it, its a black piece which can be detached easily if you remove the top cover (at top of the battery) there are some guide here which explain how to take out the cover.
Hope you can do that for me...

this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742642
on the second picture, at the top, there are two screws (red circle) + one little in the middle (not surronded). If you remove those 3 screws, then you can remove the plastic cover and inside there is the speaker and the jack audio (what I need) piece with delicate pins. but if you think its more convenient to sent the whole phone thats ok too
I live in Italy .
I only need the little gps cable that connects the motherboard to the gps antenna

You have to belive there are really great improvements in signal stability and reception,i can say about 70%.I ve read in a italian forum that someone asked acer about this mod,and after some mails someone at the acer assistance asked their engineers to test this mod;they confirmed the improvement,and even that this mod maybe doesn t void the warranty,because you have not to open the phone.Finally they said they would report about this to acer Europe to have final confirmation.After this mail no new reply.Maybe Acer won t admit fault

well netnerd , believe me or not, but gps signal after mod DOES indeed improve a lot. Anyway Arto's not referring to that mod guide.
Arto, if I find I can't fix my problem , I will be happy to give you my device.
Netnerd, if you don't use it, you could send-sell the device to me or Arto, after that we could share the pieces needed. Unfortunately I live in Europe.

i removed all the screws, i still can not open it to get the parts you guys needed. want the whole phone? i only charging shipping cost (13.50 USD to italy). phone comes with battery!
if you or arto want to pay the shipping cost, email me!
well....that would be AWESOME !!
The only thing's that Italy has some restrictions about vat, well anyway the tax' calculated only on the assured price so I should be ok.
Well, After that I could send the piece to Arto .
Well Netnerd....that would be really awesome, thanks.
Netnerd, have you got any news?
I've sent you a PM

Post a pic of the backside, most clones don`t have a heartrate sensor. Als install Phone Info or CPU-Z if you can to help identifying the phone.
The Samsung is out of place.

Samsung is NOT out of place. The photo wasn't taken straight on. That being said, the inner boxing is all wrong. The packing that holds the phone itself is flush with the top edge of the outer box the entire way around. Personally, I wouldn't buy it. If you have doubts dont do it. Also if the seller won't meet your requests for pics, don't do it
To me the dimensions look wrong, it looks wider than my s5. I call fake. Don't risk it unless you can see it in person
Thanks guys
I saw that the Samsung logo was in the wrong place (too close to the top of screen) instantly so that's why I asked here. But the seller remained certain it was genuine.
I won't buy it.
Thank you!

Exactly what I said, Samsung is in the wrong place, meant to be in the middle of the ear piece and top of the screen.

bezels are way too narrow. It is definetly a fake. Also if you're ever questioning a phones authenticity best way to sort out fakes from real is quickly login with a Gmail and download cup identifier from the play store. Tells you everything you need to know from model to cpu brand/type to camera resolution etc. Even tells you if it's imitating a real phone
I'm pretty sure that "samsung's logo is too close to the screen" and the "phone's too wide" or "the bezels are too thin"..is because of the black sticker/amoled paper thingy all over the phone.. im still doubtful tho
I have been going around posting a link to this website I found which has details about differences between real and fake Galaxy S devices.

i have a VERY bad experience with it
rebooting (automaticly)
freezing
overheating
unresponsive touchscreen
i should choose a samsung
The choice of model really depends on your carrier. The phone is still a good device if you can find one that is OEM with no replacements. I've had a bad experience with replacement screens and finding one that doesn't eventually crap out. If you can find one lightly used that hasn't had a replacement yet then you'd be well off.

On my case it was not a software problem. The touchscreen issues happened even with different Roms.

before flashing this is the first thing that the user has to do. check their phone if you suspect its refurbished or bought it from like alien express ect. it should be there in big letters. ive seen this very often.
